Student Success Resources
The School of Professional Development is committed to supporting the academic and career achievements of our students. We know that most SPD students work full time while pursuing their degree or certificate, and we recognize the challenges that can bring. Through partnerships with faculty and staff from other campus offices, we have assembled a number of support programs designed to provide students with the resources and skills they need to accomplish their goals.
This is an evolving list — if you have a recommendation for a training or resource that you think will benefit other SPD graduate students, please let us know!
